Narrative:
We were being marshalled to park at jetbridge in boston with an aircraft being fueled to our left at the next gate. This necessitated our approach at an angle with a sharp turn to the right toward the jetbridge. There was a wing walker stationed at the fuel truck to spot the left wing tip. As we turned, the left wing tip struck the fuel truck. The marshaller gave me no signal to stop the aircraft at any time.
